HAIR CLOTH.

.Application filed August 19, 1926. Serial No. 130,293.

The present invention relates to hair cloth for use by barbers incovering the clothes of personsV Whose hair is being cut.

The objects of our invention, generally speaking7 are to provide anovel, simple and economical construction of hair cloth by which the useof a button, pins or other such fasteners used for securing the haircloth about the neck of the wearer, may be avoided thereby avoidingamong other disadvantages, that of the weakening of the goods of whichthe hair cloth isv made, at the neck portion thereof; and to provide astructure which shall be entirely durable, laundered easily and Withoutdanger of impairment, be adapted to be fitted snugly about the neck ofthe wearer, Whether' large or small, and when positioned for use behighly effective in preventing the cut hair from get ting in between thehair cloth and the neck of the wearer; to provide against the undueweakening of the hair cloth at the portion thereof which goes around theneck of the wearer.

1With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention resides in certain details ofconstruction as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

ln the drawing:

Figure l is a plan view of the hair cloth embodying` the features of ourinvention,

Figure 2 is a perspective view thereof.

lhe hair cloth may be manufactured of any suitable material and ispreferably rectangnlar in formation as clearly illustrated in Fig. 1although this is not essential. The body of the hair cloth is indicatedby the numeral 5 and is cut With a central circular opening G and with aslit 7 leading radially from the opening G perpendicular to one side.The four peripheral edges, the .sides of the slit and the edge of theopening 6 are reinforced by being bound with bias-fold tape indicated bythe numerals 8, 9 and 10 at the peripheral edges, sides vof the slit,and edge of the circular opening respectively. A reinforcing strip 11 isseWed tothe body 7 in a circle concentric with the opening G and oflarger diameter so as to be spaced from the tape 10. An arcuate strip ofcloth 12 is seWed t0 the reinforcing strip 11 and the tape 10 to bedisposed therebetween for a predetermined distance .a little more thanone half.y A very small strip of cloth 111 is L by the strip 12 so as tobring the buckle adjacent the strip 14. The hair cloth is now placed onthe patron. One side of the neck band is placed around the back of thepaitrons neck and the other side of the neck band is lapped thereover.The free end of the lapped tape is inserted through the loop formed bythe strip 14 and then engaged with the buckle and drawn up to thedesired tension.

lith this improved apron it will be seen that the opening or neck bandof the hair cloth can be easily and quickly folded to conform with thelines of' the neck. On the conception of the neck band used incombination with the elastic tape, the cloth absolntely prevents thehair from going down the patrons back, thus protecting the patron fromthe annoyance resulting from the use of the ordinary hair cloth. Thehair cloth is adjustable to any size of neck Without removing orreplacing any of its parts. The facing or band 12 which holds the tape,reinforces the neck band at the place most needed and the elastic tapeprovides the method for instantly adjusting the neck band to the desiredtension around the patrons neck thus keeping it snug and tight Withoutinterfen` ing 1n any way With the muscles of the throat or neck. Thereare no metal parts, pins or buttons or the like to be fastened to thehair cloth. By removing the elastic tapek from the neck band, the haircloth is left in a condition lwhich requires no eXtra trouble or expenselin laundering.

lt is thought that the construction., advantages, and utility of thisinvention will now be apparent to those skilled in this art and furtherdetailed description is therefore deemed unnecessary. The presentembodiment of the invention has been disclosed in detail since in actualpractice it attains the features of advantage enumerated desirable inthe statement of the invention in the above description. lNe do not Wishit to be understood as intending to limit this invent-ion to the exampleshown as the same with a may be variously modified and altered withoutdeparting from the spirit of our invention.

Having thus described our invention what We claim as new is:

l. A barbers cloth of the class described, including a body having acentral opening slit leading therefrom radially through one side of thebody, a facing sewed to the body concentric about a portion of theopening, an elastic tape receivable in the facing, a bias tape sewedtothe edge of the opening, the sides of the slit, and the peripheraledges of the body, a reinforcing strip disposed about the facing andopening concentric with the latter.

2. A barbers cloth of the class described,

including a body having a central opening with a slit leading therefromradially through one side of the body, a facing sewed to the bod-yconcentric about a portion of the opening, an elastic tape receivable inthe facing, a bias tape sewed to the edge of the opening, the sidesofthe slit, and the peripheral edges of the body, a reinforcing stripdisposed about the facing and opening concentric with the latter, astrip disposed between the reinforcing tape of the opening and thereinforcing ineniber last inentioned adjacent one end of the facing.

In testimony whereof We afiix our signatures.
